Then goblins happened.


Now while everyone is still battling a giant eagle decided to appear out of nowhere.

Also, I uncovered a cavern. It seems to boost wealth and space up enough to trigger a lot of migrant waves and possibly goblin ambushes. I set my migrant cap at 30 to keep fps decent and from being swamped with migrants.

EDIT: Elves just showed up right after the eagle! look what they brought on their first trip!

Hey guys. I've been reading your thread with interest and read the hellwiki. I found this on another forum, and it immediately made me think of HellMoo. No, I haven't tried it, I just read the article and laughed.

I signed up Zac. I am now your employee at Charmin Grains. When do we start using our economic power to take over the country, and eventually, the world?

I also started as a Paraguayan. I'm an automatic citizen.

I think before a dwarf goes to the archery range he stops at the barracks first. Maybe you could designate a portion of the locked room as a barracks, along with the other suggestions in this thread.

I played EQ up until shortly after the expansion that took you the moon. I was pretty young then. I saw they had a free trial going, remembered my old sony account and gave it a try. I got my old Enchanter from level 29 to level 51 during the free trial by soloing by myself and exploring.

It's got a ton of improvements. Not least is a city zone anyone can access called Plane of Knowledge. It's open to all races and classes. It replaced the nexus sort of. It has teleporters that go to all the starting cities and some other zones too, and you don't have to wait for the teleporter anymore, you just click the stone. It killed the druid porting economy though. You will still have to run to your corpse from there but it won't be a continent spanning run and the players can make SoW and invis potions, so unless your super poor it shouldn't be too hard. At any rate there won't be any 8 hour corpse runs. Theres also a corpse summoner npc you can use if your corpse rots away with your stuff on it. Plus you shouldn't die below level 40 is you get the cleric buff Temperance, which I talk about in a bit.

They also have a bazaar zone, with a very well designed search function. That means the classic memories of standing in a zone with 300 people using the public chat for the zone to advertise their inventory. Now they just stand in the bazaar and designate themselves as merchants and what they want to sell. I can't remember when they added the bazaar but I never saw it when I played the first time. By the way, what zone did your servers use? People usually say East Commonlands but for some reason on Veeshan it was North Freeport. You just had to meet the evil people in their tunnel.

As for leveling: up until level 51 it is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to level up then what I remember. In addition there is a Cleric spell called Temperance, level 60 something spell, with higher versions too. Anyways, it adds 3 thousand HP, no matter your level. If you are level 5 with 200 hp or whatever it basically lets you kill things way higher level then you should be able to. It also can last 3 or 4 hours. You can combine this with "Hot Zones" which are old zones with new, sweet loot that also grant a substantial exp bonus for hunting in them. For example, lake of Ill Omen is the level 25 hot zone as of this moment. I managed to get my enchanter from level 29 to 51 during the trial, and half the time I was running around checking new stuff out, especially the plane of knowledge. The trial comes with like 12 expansions for free I think, and it applies it to your old EQ account permanently as far as I could tell. Also, if your character is old, don't be surprised by the amazing stuff compared to your old stuff on the bazaar.

If you wanted to add Adrenaline effects you might as well add a "scared" effect too.

Actually, it is kind of silly for their agility and strength to go up after being wounded, because, you know, they've been wounded.

EDIT: Just read that it only increases on a bruise in the post before the one I replied to. That makes sense then.

You can check to see if any vermin creatures were brought by a caravan by constructing a cage and then assigning any new animals on the list to it. These new animals are actually in the cages that were brought to trade to you, but the game doesn't recognize them. When you assign the new vermin to a constructed cage a dwarf grabs a nearby animal trap from the furniture stockpile, steals the vermin from the trader's cage,  puts the vermin in it (because he doesn't want to carry a gross vermin) and takes it to the cage you assigned the vermin to. Elves are the ones who bring me the most vermin gifts.

Also, in order to make mog juice, I believe the mog hopper has to be untrained, so that means you will have to have caught it yourself in an animal trap.

The only thing you can do with trained vermin is allow dwarves to adopt them, which doesn't happen often since they are uncommon preferences for dwarves. I've had a couple dwarves who like turtles or rats, and one liked Bluejays once and I managed to trap one for him.

Also, some kinds aren't worth keeping in zoos because some dwarves dislike a certain type of vermin and get an unhappy thought from seeing it in a cage.

In fact most things that involve the original World of Darkness PnP RPG were awesome, but now some other company bought it and made it into a twilight eske thing, the horror. The original one was very unforgiving and evil altogheder, the atmosphere was great.

Yeah, I played Bloodlines (good game) and I actually read a lot of the tabletop books because of it. Then I read the ones by the new company and was pissed by how much they gutted it. For instance, in the older books there were a crap ton, I think like 20ish, distinct clans of vampires, and in the newer ones they brought the number down to 5 or so for no good reason I can discern, along with making werethings super weird semi-jihadist type characters instead of just being, you know, werewolves. I HATE when a franchise changes hands and they change a bunch of stuff because they feel they need a new image or something.

Another good example of this is Mechwarrior: Dark Age. Sure, there are still giant robots fighting each other in good old fashioned mech battles but the way the backstory advances makes no sense and pisses off the fans.
